Personally, unless I am on concrete, or very firm and almost perfectly level ground, I do not attempt to get the truck out. On concrete I can lift the camper up to the max on the jacks, and I have about two inches or a bit less to get the truck out without taking air off the air bags.
On level ground, I put down my jacking pads under the jack feet, and raise to about one inch short of full extension, then take out the truck.
On uncertain or unlevel ground the opportunity for something to go extremely wrong is much more likely.

Once you have your camper up and the jack pads slip or are not level, the stress on your camper frame is huge. Many collapses occur at the worst possible time.
